FAQ

The IRC allows those under the age of 59 ½ to withdraw from their 401(k) plans without the 10% additional penalty if they do so in the form of a series of substantially equal payments (SoSEPP) over their remaining life expectancy. In order to establish a SoSEPP, you typically need to be terminated from your employer.

The 4% rule is a strategy that says you should withdraw 4% of your retirement savings in your first year of retirement. In subsequent years, tack on an additional 2% to adjust for inflation. For example, if you have $1 million saved under this strategy, you would withdraw $40,000 during your first year in retirement.

Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP) The IRC allows those under the age of 59 ½ to withdraw from their 401(k) plans without the 10% additional penalty if they do so in the form of a series of substantially equal payments (SoSEPP) over their remaining life expectancy.

So a 401(k) works very similar to any employer sponsored account (403(b), 457, etc). They all have slightly different rules but distribution rules are generally about the same. Once you reach age 59.5 you can withdraw monies from these account without a penalty (a 10% penalty for withdrawing before that age).

However, it's important to understand that per IRS guidelines, once contributions are made into a 401(k) plan, they can rarely be reversed, even when adjustments are made within payroll.

401(k) Plan Taxable amounts withdrawn prior to age 59½ are generally subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Account holders under age 59 ½ often can't take 401(k) withdrawals from a current employer's plan at all. If a plan does allow withdrawals or financial hardship requirements are met, you may still be responsible for taxes and penalties.

First, not all employers allow early 401(k) withdrawals. You'll need to speak with someone at your company's human resources department to see if this option is available and how the process works. Generally, you'll need to complete some paperwork, and describe why you need early access to your retirement funds.
